Book: The Homework Goblin by Ashley Howland

Ashley Howland

about this book: If your children can come up with a myriad of reasons why their homework isn't done, here's a new one "for the book!" In this fun children's story, Jason has completed his homework for the first time. It sits safely on his desk, all ready to hand in the next morning. His older sister warns him not to leave it out because The Homework Goblin could steal it! But Jason doesn't believe her until he actually sees the goblin steal into his room and swipe his paper. The goblin disappears out the window grasping Jason's hard work. If you've ever lost your homework, maybe you've had a visit from The Homework Goblin!

I was inspired to write this book when teaching. When students had excuses for not doing their homework I asked them to be creative. I always used the Homework Goblin as an example.

This is my third childrens book. It was one of the most fun because my daughters helped me to do the illustrations. They had a lot of fun reading the story with me and drawing the pictures.
